adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. I loved this series so much that I read it 3 times!! (and I'm 38!!) This is by far one of the best I've ever read. ( )The second book in Cassandra Clare's series is better than the first. I enjoyed it, and the characters, and though I knew some of what would happen in the third book, I thought Clare did a nice job of moving the plot along. A disappointment after the first volume in this trilogy. With special effects it might make a good action movie but its like treading water between "City of Bones," which sets up the conflict, the characters and their strange shadow universe, and "City of Glass" in which the mysterious relations everyone is oddly avoiding getting to the bottom of may finally be revealed. This is the second book of the series and about 1/2 way through it finally picked up steam. If you are going to read this series you have to commit to the whole series. It was definately better than the first. This is the second book in the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. I liked this one just as much as the first. The relationship between Clary and Simon, her best friend really spices up, but the relationship between her and Jace is left hanging. You'll have to wait for the third book to see what happens there. The plot with Valentine gets predictably more complicated. Clary's mother is still left asleep and there's not much happening there until the epilogue at the end. Some new characters are introduced, including the rest of the Lightwoods, the faerie Queen, Maia, a new werewolf girl, and the Inquisitor. Magnus Bane, the high-warlock of Brooklyn is carried through into this book as well and becomes a major character. I really enjoyed this action packed book, definitely a page-turner. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743566572, Audio CD)A deliciously exotic urban fantasy that is sexy, mysterious and dangerously good fun!When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother?And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know... Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
